Is there an issue with Google's rules about reporting your own personal income? Not really the final amount paid out. I would think this is ok no?

It's against section 8(b) of the Ts & Cs:

"[You cannot disclose] (b) click-through rates or other statistics relating to Site performance in the Program provided to You by Google;"

(They may mention it in other places, too, but I wasn't rereading all of their docs for this...)

I don't think anybody should be talking about adsense at all to keep it around "as is" as long as possible.

Seems every time something good comes around, people post for the world to see and eventually it comes ineffective and/or unprofitable.

Why people would want more competition and/or the threat of some low life doing something to ruin it for all is beyond me. There is already talk about people creating multiple sites just to cash in on adsense...

I see this good thing "as is" being threatened in some way down the road. Not sure how, but it happens with everything that is constantly talked about, and adsense is being talked about everywhere it seems..

My advice would be to not even talk about it in the open , but that will never happen. I would be a fool to think otherwise.

But then again, people are paying to place the ads, so maybe I am just overreacting while remembering when FFA's, email marketing, ezines, etc, use to be effective.

Just my thoughts FWIW

I didn't think Google was that powerful, being able to tell who the actual person is from a message board nick. Or go into chat and talk about it. Also not many companies would withhold such info as what part of the pie you are making.

I can't see where expressing Google AdSense revenue as a percentage of total income would create any problems. Google doesn't want people quoting specific dollar amounts earned, but as a percentage of total sales, you'd have to know what the total income is to decipher much information.
